Misleading pricing on domains
Linus Lorentzen,
2.0
Misleading pricing for domain registration. Price for domain is shown as the final price, but when you proceed and want to pay the price has changed. They don't let you bye a (.DK) domain without their DNS and they charge you... More for creating it. The issue has been there for years. I filed a complaint to the danish authorities back in 2017. Simply.com support is rude and ignores the obviously facts. Less
Nickle and Diming
Brian W,

I signed up for $10.99 per month because of the good reviews. My first month was discounted 25%. Then I notice that they are charging me $3 extra per month just to have backups. That is just plain nickle and diming. BACKUP SHOULD BE INCLUDED!
